High throughput sequencing is a powerful tool used to rapidly obtain information about nucleic acids and this can increase our understanding of the biology of a cell and assess changes that may indicate disease. Researchers use the capabilities of high throughput sequencing to survey, characterize, and quantify gene expression in a biological sample (RNA-Seq). Subsequent differential expression (statistical) analysis studies on the results produced from RNA-Seq can quantify changes observed under different biological conditions (e.g., drought, heat) and allow us to investigate the

"Scotland has a legally binding commitment of being net-zero by 2045, and a 31% reduction is required in emissions from agriculture by 2032." Scotland has a legally binding commitment of being net-zero by 2045, and a 31% reduction is required in emissions from agriculture by 2032. This topic will be under discussion in the fourth Arable Conversations session on 29th June 2021 at 6:00 pm, chaired by Kenneth Loades (James Hutton Institute) and including David Aglen (Balbirnie Home Farms), Alison Milne (Crafty Maltsters), Matt Ward (Farmacy) and Matt Aitkenhead (James Hutton Institute).

"There is increasing interest amongst policy makers about agroecological farming approaches – and whether these types of practices improve sustainability and how they can increase the resilience of agricultural businesses in Scotland to cope with external shocks such as the COVID-19 crisis, biodiversity loss or climate change." SEFARI Gateway and the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC) are funding a collaborative project between the James Hutton Institute, the Soil Association Scotland, and Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) to carry out research in relation to
"Barley breeders are continually developing new varieties and introducing them into the market; it is not always easy for the farmer understand which of the new varieties might suit their farming system." The next seminar of the International Barley Hub is taking place on Tuesday 22nd June. It will discuss Barley Varieties - The Recommendation System and will be led by Dr Paul Gosling and chaired by Prof Robbie Waugh, Director of the International Barley Hub. Book your place here.

"What do we need to measure to understand if a rotation is sustainable, particularly in terms of cropping, soil, and climate change?" Join us at Arable Scotland on 29th June for a virtual Arable Conversation with Pete Iannetta (James Hutton Institute), Ed Brown (Hutchinsons), Dick Neale (Hutchinsons), Christine Watson (SRUC) and Paul Hargreaves (SRUC), which will look at the topic of sustainable rotations. The panellists will discuss how soil health and soil function are impacted in positive and negative way by the choice of crop, and how that crop fits within a sustainable rotation. More
